ABOUT US
Awen reflects the Celtic notion of a living, inspired current that moves everything forward. At Awen Studio we harness that current by offering programs that encourage purposeful play, celebrate cultural heritage, and provide every community member, whether child or elder, with the momentum to create and share their own artistic voices.
Free Create
& Play Days
Whether your child is home educated, finding school difficult, or simply thrives better in smaller, quieter spaces join us every Tuesday at Awen Studio 10am to 5pm.
We open our doors to young people aged 10-16 and their parents or carers for a free, informal creative day. Come along, get creative, play some games, and meet new people in our friendly, inclusive studio space. Sessions are completely free but donations towards materials welcome.
Create & Play Days Free creative sessions for young people and their families
A relaxed, welcoming space where young people can make, play, explore and just be, at their own pace, in their own way.
Every Tuesday at Awen Studio, we open our doors to young people and their parents or carers for a free, informal creative day. There's clay, paint, art materials and games to explore, a friendly space to settle into, and no pressure to perform or produce. Come and go as suits you. Stay as long as you like.
Whether your child is home educated, finding school difficult, or simply thrives better in smaller, quieter spaces — Create & Play Days are designed with them in mind. Parents and carers are warmly welcome to stay, make something themselves, or simply breathe.
No structured classes. No fixed outcomes. Just time and space to create and play.

Go, Go, Go!
Learn the ancient
game of Go (13+)
1ST SESSION FREE!
Discover, Play, and Master the Timeless Game of Go.
FIRST SESSION IS FREE!
This ancient game — known to the Chinese as Weiqi, Go in Japanese, Baduk in Korean — is the world’s oldest, continuously‑played board game, the rules of which have remained relatively unchanged for over 3000 years. From the simplest of rules emerges a game of astonishing complexity, the mastery of which ultimately requires both hard-earned strategy and intuitive confidence in new and complex tactical situations.

Game Monthly
(13+)
1ST SESSION FREE!
We’re living through what many call a golden age—a board game renaissance. And it’s no coincidence. As we digitize more of our lives, many of us are craving experiences that ground us in the here and now. Vinyl records, handwritten letters, and now, tabletop games are all part of a broader movement: a return to what makes us feel human.
